In honour of our 6th Annual Grindhouse Ghoulies Show Oct. 27th, A Tribute to Cinematic Sleaze w/ Great Canadian Burlesque, I'm are running Top 10 Horror Movie Lists of some of our cast and crew. The first guest is Blonde Moxie Skin Tight Outta Sight's amazing stage manager, performer and insanely talented makeup artist.
2. Texas Chainsaw Massacre
3. The Shining
4. The Ring
4. The Ring
5. Pet Semetery
6. House of 1000 Corpses
7. The Devil's Rejects
8. Hellraiser
9. Halloween
10. Inside
#1,2,3: the classics! How can you not love these? The Exorcist had some of the most groundbreaking makeup effects in it thanks to Dick Smith.
Jack Nicholson's frozen look at the end is one of the best frostbite effects I've ever seen. And who can forget the old decomposing lady?!
And the good ol' Sawyer family. Using another human's face as a mask is (sickeningly) genius. This same thing is revisited in The Devil's Rejects- another reason why it's a favourite of mine.
#4,10: Two modern films that managed to freak me out. "Inside" is one of those gross out movies that managed to turn even the strongest of stomachs (mine) - I can't look at pregnant women the same way since seeing this.
#5: Toddlers getting killed, animals coming back from the dead, talking corpses and a freaky sister. TERRIFYING
#6,7: Modern sleaze by the one and only Rob Zombie. I love a good scalping. And the one liners! Tutti fucking fruity indeed
#8: Many think that Hellraiser is a cheesy choice, I don't blame them. But seeing someone literally be torn apart, a human regenerating from bone to muscle to skin is a feat in effects that I could only dream of achieving. The best part? Cenobites. Doug Bradley had to sit in the makeup chair for 6 hours to be transformed into Pinhead. That is true dedication, and he is now a part of horror history. I have no words for Chatterer except for, I love you.
#9: A silent stalker with a straight face and a big knife, who can't be killed? Original gore at it's best (and some boobs!)
